Boy & Girl Scouts

New Mexico's most experienced provider of raft trips to Scouts

Los Rios takes over 1,000 Scouts and school-group rafters on the river every year. Younger children can learn to appreciate the wilderness in the beautiful, serene Orilla Verde float trip, while older Scouts learn communication, teamwork, and leadership skills in rafts and funyaks on more challenging sections of river.

Scout trips can range from a fun half-day to a more intensive multi-day overnight adventure with the opportunity to earn several different merit badges. Badges that can be earned with Los Rios include:

"Our Boy Scout troop recently did a 3-day Chama River overnighter tour ... Our entire group of 4 dads and 7 scout sons truly enjoyed the experience after spending the previous 12 days up at Philmont Scout Ranch. Your staff crew of Joshua Chaumont, Brian Barnhart, and Bruce Bermudez are truly professionals as they made our leisurely trip down the Chama River a most memorable one with all their historical insights and knowledge of the area. Also, all the home cooked meals that was prepared was truly the "icing on the cake!".

Mahalo (Thanks) again for your company's help ... we'll certainly spread the word around on our island. It's exactly like the MasterCard commercial..."Priceless!!!"

"Blue Sky Adventures has provided tour programs to Boy Scouts going to Philmont for the past 10 years. We have used Los Rios River Runners for the past 8 years to provide rafting for our groups and have rafted about 6,000 Scouts with Los Rios during this time. Los Rios provides an outstanding rafting experience for our Scouts. Their guides are personable, knowledgeable, competent and relate well with the Scouts. Los Rios also provides a very safe experience. Blue Sky is very familiar with other rafting outfitters on the Rio Grande and considers Los Rios to be the very best. We would use no other outfitter and plan on being a Los Rios customer for many years to come."
